Steve Gorn, flute;
John de Kadt, percussion;
and Peter Rogen, reading poetry.
This program is an intimate opportunity to hear Rumi's poetry accompanied by the spontaneous playing of two world-respected
musicians - banchuri flutist Steve Gorn and percussionist John de Kadt. In
this casual format, one often hears the poetry and music as if for
the first time - always receiving waves of impressions of new and deeper
levels within Rumi's work.
Jalaluddin Rumi is the remarkable 13th century Sufi mystical poet, born in
Afghanistan, who lived most of his life in what is now Turkey.
A blending of profound spirit, philosophy and intellect with an
extraordinary literary talent distinguishes Rumi as one of the world's great
poet-saint-geniuses. In celebration of his 800th anniversary, UNESCO has named 2007 International Year of Rumi.
There is a brief introduction at the beginning about Rumi and
his work. Whole program runs about 90 minutes
and questions are welcome at the end.

Recent events in Nepal—the assassination of its ruler by his nephew and the violence of the Maoist insurgency—suggest that the traditional mandala-culture is rapidly being deconstructed.
From around the 8th century C.E., the sociopolitical and cultural structures of Nepal have been rooted in the ideology and practice of Tantra. Tantra (which literally means "to interweave") is a metaphysical and ritual system that weaves ideologies of kingship to the construction of space and sociocultural identity through the metaphor of the mandala, a geometric symbol that portrays the flow of divine power into the world.
By imagining their kingdom as a Tantric mandala, Nepalese kings have aligned themselves with divine power, transforming their temporal territory into the universal territory of a Godhead. Never a static construction, the mandala—as a template for society—incorporates and is informed by a multiplicity of cultural practices and dialects. In this way, the mandala links centers to peripheries and allows for the appropriation of power through a multiplicity of media—including dance, art, shamanism, and ritual sacrifice.
This 1,200-year-old system of the mandala culture is changing both through the forces of modernism and the recent
"People's War," orchestrated since 1996 by the Maobadi movement.
Timalsina, a native of the Kathmandu valley, will use
slides, personal experience, and 20 years of scholarship to illustrate the current struggle at the heart of Nepal's classical mandala culture.
Timalsina, internationally recognized as one of the premier young scholars of South Asia, is currently teaching Sanskrit at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He has published more than dozen works in Sanskrit, English, Hindi, and Nepali, and his dissertation on the topic of creation and perception in Vedanta was filed recently at Martin Luther University, Halle, Germany. He is committed to advising the academic community and the greater public of the current political situation in Nepal.
